Digenis Akritis: The Grottaferrata and Escorial Versions (Cambridge Medieval Classics) by Elizabeth Jeffreys
Five stars, because: 1. It's not a bad story, 2. it serves as a marker for the turning the clock back on women to Ancient Greece in the Byzantine Empire after the 12th Century, and the Jeffreys translation is better than the Hull translation. I know many people don't consider this cycle "literature," but they also hate puppies.
